Android Button Listerners

I am fairly new to this Android application thing and have a couple questions involving onclick listeners.

Right now I have a table inside a ScrollView with one column that includes several buttons. My goal is to get to a point where I can click on a button and then a second table would come up right next to the first (same layout as the first) but with a different set of buttons. Can someone please guide me in the right direction.

Let me know if you have any questions.

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

 <ScrollView 
 android:layout_width="125dp"

    <TableLayout android:id="@+id/table_right"

        <TableRow android:id="@+id/row_1"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"

to toggle the table between visible and invisible will i'll recommend you to use this follow here my example :- 

            boolean visible = true;
        private void showHide() {

            if (visible) {
            if(table1.getVisibility() == View.Invisible ); { 
                 table1.setVisibility(View.Visible) 
            }   
            }else table1.setVisibility(View.Invisible);

            visible = !visible;
        }

and on your button .setOnClickListener add showHide(); now when you click the button it will show table1 and when you click it again it will hide it. hope that helped you.

In the layout XML file, create both tables... but set the second table's visibility to "GONE". A visibility of GONE means that it won't even take any space in the layout.

I'm assuming you know how to execute some code when a button is pressed (if not, look up onclicklistener or the android:onClick xml shortcut). When the appropriate button is pressed, set the second table's visiblity to VISIBLE and it'll appear.
